I’ve Never Wanted a LawnMower More in my Life.
clearly, Sunday presents an invaluable opportunity to get many important jobs done around the home, only one of which is mowing the grass. And so the 18.5-tonne, 42-foot-wide Claas Cougar 1400 was born, a lawn mower with the sort of tolerance for time-wasting you see from an F1 pit crew during a tyre change.
Through an uncompromising mix of speed, power and bowel-loosening scale, the Cougar will turn prairie to putting green in less time than it takes most of us to find the keys to the shed. Around 50 acres per hour in fact, which is roughly like mowing The Melbourne Cricket Ground once a minute. And that makes this the agricultural equivalent of the Bugatti Veyron. By the time the rest of us are yanking impotently at our pull starts, the Cougar owner is eyeing up other continents for a bit of cash-in-hand.
